Double Down posts in Central Nevada Museum

Recently on my travels I was able to spend some time in Tonopah, Nevada. I used to go to Tonopah quite a bit when my sister Sherry lived there and we had more than one “ghost filled” New Year's Eve at the famous Mizpah Hotel. Well, we told a lot of ghost stories, but I'm not sure we saw the resident ghost -- though we did see amazing things fly in the sky.

On this trip we stayed at the historic and beautiful Mizpah again, had a good meal, enjoyed talking with the staff, and relaxed from our drive that, over the course of the week, had led us up through Amargosa Valley, Death Valley, Beatty and Goldfield, and, on the way back home, from Reno. The high bed with soft pillows, the handmade soap, and the deep claw foot bathtub were a welcomed luxury.
